Parents are being advised to return a kid’s swim jacket sold in Dunnes Stores after officials detected a fatal error with the product.

The Competitions and Consumer Protection Commission posted the recall on Monday, July 24th.

They informed Irish consumers that “Dunnes Stores Unlimited Company is carrying out a recall of Dunnes Kids Swim Jacket.”

According to the notice, the “risk associated with the product is that of drowning”.

This is because seams of the garment may separate which could reduce or release buoyancy, creating the risk of submersion under water and drowning.

The bar codes are 5099014540546 / 5099014540539 / 5099014540522.

There are approximately 1,237 affected products in the Republic of Ireland, according to the CCPC.
